The bill introduces a new section to chapter 23A-35 of South Dakota law, allowing law enforcement officers to temporarily detain individuals whom they reasonably suspect of committing, having committed, or being about to commit a crime. Officers are authorized to stop individuals in public places and demand their name, as well as request their address and date of birth. The bill stipulates that the detention must not exceed sixty minutes and should not extend beyond the immediate vicinity of the initial stop unless the individual is arrested.

Additionally, the bill establishes a penalty for individuals who knowingly or intentionally refuse to provide their name when requested by an officer, classifying such refusal as a Class 2 misdemeanor. This legislation aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to address potential criminal activity while ensuring that the rights of individuals are respected during the detention process.
